Today's question:Do you post links to your reviews? Here on Library Thing, or anywhere else? How else do you like to promote your site?

I do sometimes post links to my reviews, but I am not systematic or consistent.

As far as posting links on LT, If it's a ARC, I might post a link in the "Penny for your Thoughts" thread in ARC Junkies or if it's YA I might post a link in the Read YA lit "What are you reading?" thread for the current month. I haven't done this much lately though.

I usually post my links at Semicolon's Saturday Review of Books. After posting my links, I click on at least 3 of other bloggers links and comment on their reviews.

Very rarely, I'll tweet a link to a book review on twitter, but I do see other bloggers do this frequently. It works. I click on them!

On Sunday, it snowed and Emmy wanted to go out and play in it. Watch this video to see her reaction and hear lots of meowing (happy Sharonanne?). Be warned that there is a lot of street noise - sounds like a street car might be going past.

I've only recently begun posting reviews on my blog. Previously, I limited them to my shelf at Shelfari.com.

How else do I promote my site? I show up at other bloggers' sites. I find fellow bloggers are pretty good at reciprocating a visit. And I visit a lot of bloggers very regularly and I leave comments. This is the net. Site counters are nice. Comments are better.
